paragraph_direction_mark(text)

source code

Determine paragraph writing direction according to http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#The_Paragraph_Level

Returns either Unicode LTR mark or RTL mark.

Q_(text)

source code

Translate the given text, optionally qualified with a special construction, which will help translators to disambiguate between same terms, but in different contexts.

When translated text is returned - this rudimentary construction will be stripped off, if it's present.

Here is the construction to use:: Q_("?vcard:Unknown")

Everything between ? and : - is the qualifier to convey the context to the translators. Everything after : - is the text itself.

ngettext(s_sing, s_plural, n, replace_sing=None, replace_plural=None)

source code

Use as:: i18n.ngettext('leave room %s', 'leave rooms %s', len(rooms), 'a', 'a, b, c')

In other words this is a hack to ngettext() to support %s %d etc..
